#    nixpatch.sh file_1 file_2 … file_n
#
# where each file_i is either an ELF executable or a shell script.
#
# This script will break badly if any of the arguments contain spaces.
# Don't use spaces in the file_i names!
#
# This script will insert a wrapped version for each file replace
# each file in the ./wrapped/ folder.
#
# This script creates a .result-file_i symlink which points to NixOS's copy
# of the wrapper file. Removing or moving that hidden symlink will get
# the original wrapper file garbage-collected by nix-collect-garbage.
# Since this script copies and adjusts the wrapper, it removes that directory anyway.
